12 Life Lessons Everyone Learns Growing Up In Texas
Even if you move away from Texas at some point, you just can’t erase these life lessons from your memory, no matter how hard you try. If you grew up here, you’ll definitely remember your parents teaching you these important things.
Texas literally means friend in the Caddo language, so naturally we're taught from a young age to be kind to all people, even strangers.
Texas is a diverse state comprised of many different landscapes, and most of us have learned to tread lightly among Earth and protect it while we can.
Family is everything, and if you've got people who have your back no matter what, you have the world.
Most of us are taught to be self-sufficient, and our parents probably showed us our way around a garden at a young age.
We have a slower pace of life in Texas, and we know how important it is to have some R&R time each day, especially after a hard day's work.
Because in the end, you'll realize the small things were actually the big things.
This world has so much to offer, as long as you have the willingness and curiosity to uncover its secrets.
Life will provide you with what you need, as long as you're willing to work hard and wait for it.
Keep things simple; life doesn't have to be as hard as we make it seem sometimes.
The prize at the top of the mountain is worth it, no matter how high you have to climb, or how long it takes you to get there.
You never know what's up ahead...potholes, construction, pedestrians, and deer are all very real possibilities.
Take pride in yourself and your state, and treat your home with dignity and respect. We only have one Texas, so let's make sure we take care of her!
